• 13 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I come from Igembe Central, a region known for producing what we internationally refer to as ‘green gold’. Locally, we call it mairungi, miraa and khat . As we talk, that industry has been employing more than 500,000 people.

This monster called delocalisation has destroyed our education in Igembe because most of the teachers brought to handle institutions there are foreigners who do not know the situations in the area hence education standards have been going down.

• 13 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: can understand one another. Although the teachers are Kenyans, we need Kenyans from our regions; Kenyans who know our problems and how to handle our people. The schools were doing well before delocalisation. Even the giant schools that were doing wonderfully are now going down. Something should be done and I believe it will be done. view
• 13 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: As I wind up, I believe we are going to have a team that will represent us in EALA; a team that is able to negotiate, and represent us to our benefit. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I thank God and you all. view
